Peebles Woodmarket

Welcome to the website for the Peebles Woodmarket. The Woodmarket for 2024 returns on 19th and 20th October, in the  Peebles Community Centre (the Drill Hall). 

Talented makers in wood from around the country will converge on the pretty Borders town to display and sell their wares. The Woodmarket is a favourite annual event in the Borders calendar and it’s FREE! 

Even bigger than last year, occupying the entire Drill Hall, and operating over two days, twenty-five makers will present an amazing diversity of wood products for visitors to browse and buy: exclusive designer furniture of all kinds, wooden sculpture, clocks, baskets, elegant storage. Smaller wooden items too: signage, jewellery, pens, puzzle boxes, jig-saws…and more. Check out the Image Carousel. The versatility of wood is demonstrated by these many uses. And it is a beautiful material too, with its limitless variation of colour and grain pattern.

Alongside our makers, suppliers of native and exotic hardwoods will also be exhibiting, providing interest and inspiration of all who make in wood, and aspiring makers too. Wildlife and woodland related Charities will also be at the Woodmarket, publicising their work.

Special Features:

Don’t just look! Mesmerising Mechanisms is a special exhibition featuring a collection of wooden machines of various kinds. They demonstrate how the movement of ingenious mechanisms can produce fascinating results.... like a hedgehog riding a unicycle or  the motion of balls in a complicated circuit.  Visitor participation is mandatory... nothing happens until you turn the handle!

The Woodmarket Cafe will provide snacks and beverages on both days for our visitors in a cosy and comfortable setting.
